Some Very Salty Charges Are Made by the Ex-
Warden Of the Minnesota Prison With Referee
nee and In Answer to the Warden.
ExWarden Reed, through his attorney,
Fayette Marsh, has filed his answer to the
charges against him. First he denies that
he has ever taken, used or appropriated
any OF the money or property oil the state
to his own private use or benefit. lie de-
MES that he has been guilty OF immoral
conduct, and denies specifically the charges
OF sexual intercourse with female
convicts. On the first five charges be makes
n specific denial Of guilt, and pleads
extenuating circumstances to suspicious
appearances. The sixth charge, that OF
having taken for ten years the services OF
a female convict without paying the state
therefor, ne admits its truth, but says
the board OF prison inspectors were aware
of it. and that it had been the custom in
the prison, He also denies the last three
charges. these in toto. He then passes on
to counter charges against the present
warden, II. G. Stordock. He claims that
Stordock was in 1886 candidate before
the Minnesota Republican convention for
u certain office. Certain leading Repubii-
cans objected to his having a place upon
their ticket on the ground that Stor-
dock, while a member OF the previous leg
islature had been guilty OF receiving brides
from various railroad corporationsin Min
nesota. Storkock got angry and threat
ened to defeat the ticket. To appease
him certain prominent Republican politi-
clans without the knowledge ofGov. McGlll
promised him an appointive state office II
he would make no trouble. Stordock want
ed q railroad commissioEership. After the
election, Gov. NcGill, with no knowl-
edge OF the arrangement with Stordock, re-
moved Reed upon the allegation OF Prison
Guard NcNeal that Reed had been guilty
of gross aud immoral conduct, and OF ap-
propriatlug the states money and prop
erty to his own use. This, the eN-warden
AYERS, was done by McNeal under instruc-
tons OF Stordock. He also CLAIM 3 that
the testimony OF the conyiets against him
was false and manufactured. Mr.. Reed
then says that during the session OF the
legislature Stordoek was in the habit OF
visiting a certain house OF ill fame in st.
Paul. That on one occasion Stordock,
while intoxicated, lost his watch and
money in said house OF i'll fame. That the
proprietress OF said house OF i'll fame
entered into a conspiracy with
Stordock, Prision Guard McNeal
and Mrs. McNeal to manufacture
evidence against Rec and to deceive Gov.
McGill. Because OF these alleged facts, and
because Stordock had used his official po-
sition to iniure Reed, the latter prays the
aid OF the commission in obtaining Justice
and full and impartial inves tigation.
Mr.. Marsh has subp9ned ex-Gov. Pills
bury, Gov McGill and Stanford Newell to
prove the alleged conspiracy; A. A. Man
vile, general manager OF the Manitoba
road, to prove bribery.
Mr.. Stordock in an interview alleges that
the charges against him are wholly ground.

Disputes Growing Out of q Contest in Which
Mercantile Supremacy Is the Prize.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Aug 27-Dispatches received this
afternoon from Madagascar state that the
position of affairs there is ything but salts
factory for the French authorities. Nothing has
occurred to diminish the extreme tension in the
relations between the French Resident and the
Malagassy Prime Minister the subject of the
granting of consular exequat urs, both parties
claiming that right. The French authorities
complain of repeated denials of justice at the
British consulate. They allege that the British
consul at Tamatave refuses to compel his
countrymen to pay their debts to give iudg-
ment against them. Another cause OF difficulty
arises out of the mode of collecting the customs
dues. At the SIX principal ports there are col
lected by the Compton de Scompte, of Paris
which advanced the money to pay the French
indemnity, and are levied as far possible, in
cash. AT all the other ports. however, the 10
0s. cent. duty is accepted by the Hovas author
tiles in kind. The result is that, as payment in
cash is burden to the importers, they go, when
they can, to the ports whore the Hovas author
tiles collect and avoid the ports in the hands of
French agents, TO the detriment of the security
of the French bank for its loans. The latter
now seeks TO establish its agents, not only in the
six ports specified by treaty, but also In every
other center of trade in Madagascar. This de-
maud has been directly refused by the Hovas,
ard the bank demands the interference of the
French government in its behalf.
